I've now been in this post for about 6 months and have been thoroughly enjoying it! We had a busy time over the summer holidays with our 'Mission Rescue' Holiday club and the Romania trip and it's now back to term time....
Hub and Compass started up again at the beginning of term - at Compass we're working through Scripture Union books, playing team games and doing arts and crafts each week. Hub is also going well with football/badminton/table tennis being played and lots of room to chat and spend time with others in the village.
If anyone would like to come along on a Tuesday evening they'd be more than welcome (Compass is 6-7.15pm for primary 2-7 and Hub is from 7.30-9pm for secondary ages and costs 50p per session).
I've also started up another youth evening on a Thursday night called 'UNION' for p7 to s3 from 6.30 till 8.30pm. Each week there are different activities on and this term so far we've had:
'girls night' where we painted nails, had fruit juice cocktails and played 'just dance
'boys night' where there was football, pizza and car racing games
'masterchef' where we made our own pizzas
a kickboxing lesson
a 'big movie' night
and a karaoke night.
UNION shall be continuing throughout term time so look out for the next programme after the October holidays!
We've started up Sunday club again after the summer holiday and everyone is feeling rejuvenated after the break!
I'm also continuing to work with Auchtergaven Primary School- I have Tuesday lunchtime sessions for p6-7 where we do Scripture Union related games/activities/crafts. I shall also be taking assembly once a month as well as helping out at the end of term services.
If anyone has any questions or suggestions, please feel free to chat to me or otherwise leave a note in my 'suggestion box' in the Hub.
Thank you, Paula
